U.S. Coast Guard Commandant Adm. Linda Fagan, who made history as the first female uniformed leader of a U.S. military branch, was unexpectedly ousted by President Trump less than 24 hours into his second term.

In a message sent to all Coast Guard members on Tuesday morning, acting Secretary of Homeland Security Benjamine Huffman said he had relieved Fagan of her duties.

“She served a long and illustrious career, and I thank her for her service to our nation,” Huffman said, offering no further explanation for her abrupt ouster.

He would have resigned and told the felon to fire the successful four star Admiral himself. In person. Face to face. Right after he pardoned maga thugs who beat the hell out of police officers on the felons orders. But Huffman has no integrity. The felon does not hire people with integrity.
